Chicken Curry – The Health(ish) Way

This year marks my 20th Anniversary with Weight Watchers. We have had a love and hate relationship over the years. I have lost loads, and put it on, lost and gained, but one thing I know is that im better off working the WW way, than not. Years ago when we still lived in Stevenage,Continue reading “Chicken Curry – The Health(ish) Way”

Chicken & Bacon Paella – My little bit of Spain

My Weight Waters journey started almost 20 years ago now. Diets when you don’t eat salad and fruit are not the easiest, so I have never thought they would work for me. Then when you see your brother at your wedding looking a lot thinner, and finding out he was going to Weight Watchers, madeContinue reading “Chicken & Bacon Paella – My little bit of Spain”

Sausages in Onion Gravy – Gravy with Everything

As my first week back on track with WW (weight watchers to those that don’t know) I reflect on good choices made and I’m focusing on the week ahead. One thing I have to do is plan our meals so I know what I’m cooking in the evenings around family life where it is aContinue reading “Sausages in Onion Gravy – Gravy with Everything”

Homemade Beans – Lower those points

I didn’t do the New Years resolution thing this year, as starting up my diet again and getting the right focus could not be a flash in the pan for the first 2 weeks of the crappiest month of the year!

So maybe not the vicar but, I did have to break it to the wife that I might have said “yes” when the new curate asked “What about I come for dinner one evening next week?” Well it’s okay, he is a really nice guy, it will be good to share dinner and have aContinue reading “Salmon & Risotto – The Vicar is Coming for Tea.”

Chicken Fried Rice – An Actifry is not just for Chips

Like many people I bought the Tefal Actifry on the promise of Chips with just a teaspoon of oil, and I have to say it did not disappoint. I started off following the instructions part cook the potatoes, pat them dry and left them dry out before you put them in. Well that was far,Continue reading “Chicken Fried Rice – An Actifry is not just for Chips”

My Cooking History!

Thanks for coming back! In the time since the last post, I have been thinking about what things I can write about and whether I have enough content to keep writing about cooking. So I decided to start a Mindmap (If you don’t do these you should, it gets your thoughts out). The upshot wasContinue reading “My Cooking History!”

Italian Prawn – Saturday Family Meal

Most people will remember their Mum’s cooking, the roast dinners, her roasties, or the gravy or the Yorkshire Puddings. Well the secret to my Mum’s roasties was simple, beef dripping, but her gravy I have no idea and the Yorkshire Pudding were to die for. However, more epic for me was some of the otherContinue reading “Italian Prawn – Saturday Family Meal”
